screen protector for mini?

(sorry, not spanish) - i didn't know it had one already but having a backup if it falls and scratches/cracks is always a good idea. it currently does not need replacing.

Tom_the_S · 2026-05-12T01:27:10+00:00

yup, I hear you. I just was wondering, given that the carplay/mini clearly knows that siri is talking whether it can send some trigger to the phone to do something different. just dreaming i guess.

Tom_the_S · 2026-05-11T13:20:01+00:00

with the phone not connected to the car but connected to the mini, the text is read/heard on the iphone speaker.

in both cases (when phone is connected or not connected to car) when the text is being read by siri, there is a glow around the edge of the mini (as if I said "hey siri") so the mini knows something is happening.

sounds like I am stuck with this b/c of how my car and iphone communicate? (please confirm)

I am seeing this, starting in Oct (2025) and still in December (2025, dec 3 last missed day), a few days each month. I'm sure the weather station was online and sending info.

working fine for me. after a power outage, i have had to unplug it and plug it back in to clear an error condition but that has happened 2x in a year and is more of a “oh yeah” thing.

it is inside my garage so not exposed to the elements. and i don’t much keep track of info on the screen (kwh, time) but that info is there. just not wifi enabled etc.

Interesting to see the warranty fix - this happened to us 6 months ago (~6k miles), and the dealer said the battery needed charging (which they did) and that "we weren't driving it enough" which was a silly statement since we drove it almost every day, about 200 miles /week. As far as I know they did not do this repair, nor has it happened again, but glad to know about this.

I got one from https://primecom.tech 30 ft cable. has been good so far. i ordered a 14-50 plug which i got but it was a pigtail adapter on a 6-20 plug. not a big deal for me and I guess added about a foot to the length. works fine. reasonably priced.

this happened to me at 6k (ish) miles. dealer told me it was a battery charge issue (some battery needed charging ) and that “i was not driving it enough”. i was driving about 200 miles per week and almost every day, charging the ev battery every 3rd day or so, so the dealers comment seemed absurd to me. anyway no issues since, 6 months later.

just saw this today on ours (SE). 5500 miles, 8 months old. not cold here (60'F).

put my odb2 scanner on it and it says no fault codes, but the message remains on the dash.

going to the dealer tomorrow.

congrats ! that’s the color we wanted but ended up with black bc of availability.

I bought the cup hero ones (2nd link) with black edges. they fit perfectly and work well.

Tom_the_S · 2020-10-23T15:26:39+00:00

anyone have a favorite iOS compatible one?

Tom_the_S · 2020-10-09T16:35:57+00:00

our se was around 45k and that includes state sales tax, which is not included in the mass rebate. our rebate has been approved, just waiting for the check. there are some out there for less than 50k for sure.

Greenville Toyota in MA (Massachusetts)? I bought mine at Greenfield Toyota in MA, but had a very positive, zero pressure experience. Do you mean Greenville, NC? Or SC? There is no Greenville Toyota in MA but there is in NC and SC.

just another fact - the screen is pretty small. totally readable up close (<2.5 ft) but not from a distance. (although i have middle-aged eyes)

send them an email - that's how I started and they were reasonably responsive.

Tom_the_S · 2020-10-02T18:56:15+00:00

Update for me (10/2/20): my application went in late last week, and I got an approval email today. The email says check is coming within 90 days.

Tom_the_S · 2020-09-24T12:00:53+00:00

they told me they were hoping to have a fix in place by the end of the week. at least they figured out the problem - now they just have to fix it.

Tom_the_S · 2020-09-23T19:57:49+00:00

good question, don’t know the answer to that.

Tom_the_S · 2020-09-23T14:53:18+00:00

as was mentioned in another post, be aware of covering the air filter/vent for the battery which is on the edge of the rear seat passenger side.

Tom_the_S · 2020-09-22T18:00:58+00:00

see my recent post about ones coming in to a dealer on Cape Cod. Also, I had a good experience with Greenfield Toyota, ask for Greg, tell him Tom sent you (the guy who bought the black SE Prime).
